I do both of those. It’s just a never ending battle.

Welcome to the FR family. We all share your frustration with, and concern for, the culture, society, and the nation.
There is a variance between political temperament and the practice of politics.
As Russell Kirk points out, Bismark showed us that politics is the “art of the possible.’ You can’t accomplish anything without success.
This runs in direct conflict with holding and supporting an entirely principled line, the expression of political temperament.
Would we be worse off if Obama had lost in 2012? Probably not. Would we still be going downhill in liberty if Romney had won — that’s likely. So either stance being held, the position of the Possible, or the unbent standard of Principle will come into conflict with the other.
This forum is the collision of that discourse on the conservative side so we bicker and insult each other.
